Gina Schiappacasse illustrates Kevin Kramp

New York-based fashion illustrator Gina Schiappacasse just posted a series of illustrations based on photographs of the knitwear of award-winning local designer Kevin Kramp. Schiappacasse (who happens to be a Minnesota native) says, "I was turned on to him by a few other Minnesotans in the Big Apple and was instantly captivated by his exquisite use of shape and texture."

Local style blogger story in this week's Vita.mn: The cover art

The lovely cover art for this week's issue of Vita.mn on local style bloggers is by Minnesota native, New York-based fashion illustrator Gina Schiappacasse. (Oh, and I wrote the cover story.)

Here are her original covers, including one that didn't make it to stands:

And the online art:

Catching up with Eclecticoiffeur's Kelsy and Di

I just ran across some lovely images that happened to be styled by my former business partners and collaborators in Eclecticoiffeur, hairstylist Kelsy Osterman and makeup artist Di Medlock, who have since both made the move to New York. Kelsy has been busy working at Cutler Salon, assisting on major editorial spreads, and working New York and Miami Fashion Weeks (not to mention the occasional visit to Courtney Love's hotel to do her hair.) Di has been working and traveling for Exhale Mind Body Spa, overseeing the waxing department across the U.S.

The lovely shoot features fashion and accessories by New York-based Gina Schiappacasse, also a fashion illustrator who is originally from Minneapolis herself. The shoot was done on NYU Mews Street back in July and was featured on Schiappacasse's blog.
